The drugs, undiluted and linked to international cartels, were found alongside stolen and unregistered weapons—including an AK-47 and Uzi—pointing to a sophisticated, global network. Carelse, released from custody before his death, may have been targeted for his testimony. This tragedy underscores a dangerous pattern of violence tied to the drug trade and raises alarms about the security of seized assets and potential infiltration of South Africa’s justice system.
